Likening all democrats to Michael Moore is like likening all republicans to Howard Hunt and Gordon Liddy. It stinks. Only Moore at least piles up tons of interesting things on one side of the table. Not all of it is high quality and his inflamatory conspiracy theories only hurt his case. But watching GWB sit like a pole-axed calf for 7 minutes, then go back to reading a children's story, instead of taking command when the 9/11 news came... Jesus. Fact is, our airwaves throng and hum with hundreds of right wing Michael Moores. You loathe him? Multiply that a hundred times with the propagandists slaving away for Rupert Murdoch. At least Moore has guts. > > Americans who want other Americans to die at the > hands > of their enemies - I call them traitors. Go ahead. I don't disagree.

John Kerry killed people with his bare hands to save comrades and to serve his flag. He saw war crimes. He had the guts to come home and decry them and warn that his country had fallen into a trap. Those are all patriotic in the direction you claim to like, yet you will find excuses to disparage them. I NEVER did that. But you guys will. I always honored Ronald Reagan for his core patriotism, for example, I revered Barry Goldwater (who despised the Clinton witch hunts, by the way.) Everything you say is suspect because it is so predictably along party lines. Can't you even notice that and feel sheepish about that? MY SIDE MY SIDE MY SIDE!!!!!!!!! Yesterday a few house republicans had the guts to stand up and try to reverse some of the most horribly Orwellian aspects of the Patriot Act. They were immolated by their "side".

In any event, Moore would never get away with such a film if the country weren't brimming with people just as fed up as Doug & me. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
